gearing for 20-13...

less than 2 days and it's a new calendar year! i've a lot to look forward to this coming year and i'm really set to get busy: first, in church; and second, at work. of course, i need not mention dedicating my whole self to my two girls, 24/7. i just feel blessed with everything i have and for these, i thank God, my Father! ;)

a while ago we went to auntie joy's place. it's her birthday and we used to celebrate her day with an annual family reunion especially when my mom was still here in Manila. years passed and the tradition seems to fade. it's nice to gather still though even if family members aren't complete and seeing the relatives happy being reunited once in a while is already enough to compensate those lost years.

last week, my two girls & i spent the holidays with my dad and relatives from his side. it was really, really, really nice to get back to your former 'home.' i took my two girls in downtown San Fernando and we strolled the side streets of the patio. we were actually looking for a flower shop to have it placed on my grandpa & grandma's grave. later, i met a HS classmate (and hometown mate) in a coffee shop to catch up with things. i dropped by their place after our coffee (chat) then headed back home to my two girls. everytime i visit Pampanga, i never fail to reminisce my good old teen years...

earlier, my blogger bespren (biep) called and he was already in the boarding area. so his trip is finally pushing through after long time of planning. it's just sad that he has to leave right before new year's eve and spend the new year away from his son & wifey. well, it's all for the good of his family. goodluck on your new undertakings in PNG, daddy kuri!

2013 is approaching. more surprises, more challenges ahead. let's bring it on! ;)

wazzup, Decembah?!

first post for December, hopefully not the last. some people are making the most out of this day because rumors say that tomorrow, December 21, 2012 is doomsday! i'd say, "weh, di nga? "

i missed posting last 12.12.12 or December 12, 2012. it's the last date where we can encounter a triple number in a date. these triple number-dates are quite significant for me because of a couple of reasons: 1) my blog started in March 3rd, 2003; and, 2) i got married in August 8th, 2008...

so what were your stories last January 1, 2001? February 2, 2002? April 4, 2004? May 5, 2005? June 6, 2006? July 7, 2007? September 9, 2009? October 10, 2010? November 11, 2011? and December 12, 2012?

Last weekend was a Hi-5 treat day, not only for our little girl but to us (wifey & i) as well. we do follow this group since our little girl started watching it even before she can stand on her own, three years ago. her lolo daddy bought us the discounted tickets for the Hi-5 Holiday concert and yea, we got the last row seats in the balcony. being the good father that I am, i was disheartened to see my little girl watch the show from the very far view. so, daddy made a way to bring his little girl near the admired group. i took my little girl down to the main hall, very near the stage and we just stayed in the aisle. more moms followed with their kids and soon, the kids were enjoying the 'close encounter' with the Hi-5 group. did my little girl enjoy the show?

very busy at work since last month, and it is predicted to last until next year. perhaps our team can rest just weeks before the next fiscal year. i just hope that no work will come into the way of the scheduled long weekends in 2013. speaking of which, i'm on duty on the 31st of this month AND january 1st.

does that mean that i'll be working overtime (OT-Y) for most of the coming year? nooooooo...!!!! :(
